Re: 1999 Mazda 626 2.0 i4

Re: Random Funny Pics

so just accelerate slow, no? that's what i do, and i end up going the same speed as everyone else, although just a bit later. whenever i see a red light up ahead i get off the gas too, and glide so i can get through lights in second or third. people get pissed at that too, haha. i kinda wish i had a...

Re: Stick Passenger Stories

My tall friends would always spread their knees out, so that their left knee would be in the the way of fifth. I'd always have to be like, "uh... (points at knee)." Or I could just punch their knee, depending on how much I liked the person. I've had a few friends who didn't realize my car ...

Re: bought a protege! (updated w/ pics)

Thanks! I've been quite the lurker for the past year or two...

I can hear it when I try to launch, no matter how slow i go. And, say if I'm on the gas, I get off it, and go back on, the sound will come back again. Suspension isn't making the sound.

Re: bought a protege!

Will do... when there's light. Tomorrow morning it is. The squeak isn't the pedal, but it sounds like something under the car (transmission?). I mentioned the suspension part, because the sound emitted sounds just like that... but just not from the suspension. My uncle said it could be a heatshield ...

bought a protege! (updated w/ pics)

Hey guys, I bought a Protege today! After looking for... a good 2-3 months for a 2001+ Impreza or Protege, a Green 5 spd ES came up recently and I picked it up. 50,000 miles, $6500; I was so psyched. The change from my '91 Sentra to this Protege is... huge. The clutch doesn't squeak and isn't as hea...

Hey guys, i think i've found a decent 2002 protege, as i am looking to replace my 1991 sentra. i was wondering if any of you guys have leftover carfax accounts or something. I can give you the VIN and my e-mail. Not that i'm going to be a beggar but, im just trying to get by as a poor college studen...

I don't think it is the CV joint because when I roll down a hill in neutral theres no clinking; and isn't it supposed to be when you turn? I'm bringing it to the shop today. My oil is kind of old (though I've only gone about 2-3000 miles, its been 3 or 4 months and the oil is getting dark), but I do...

ticks cant be good, can they?

I've been getting this scary, somewhat loud ticking sound from somewhere in the engine bay. The engine, when revved, is fine, and the sound is also fine when i tested it in neutral going down a hill. But, when i hook up the engine with the transmission, things go wrong. If i step on the gas, it'll g...
